So, has any one else done this?

these were done to the car before i got it. Had some Cheap ass Sony 110W 2 way speakers in there.

Replaced them with some Alpine type s about 6 months ago. When i pulled them out the hack job was poor at best...

Looks like they used tin snips and a hammer to get enough room. Had the speakers screwed straight to the panel.

Disconnected the factory rear speakers and installed a stupidly large twin 15"sub box which you had to slam the boot to get it to close..
( I took that out when i got home. it weighed 65kg )

I connected the factory rears up and they worked fine.

So all in all the guy was stupid.


I've kept it as it was and The quality is fairly good, minimal vibration, but a pain in the ass if you ever take any one in the rear etc. :no:

Considered taking them out, replacing the panels etc. But the damage to the body is already there so may as well use it.


Not really any questions here, just more of a general, Check out this crap.

If you do have any suggestions etc I'd like to hear it.



( I apparently dont have any better photo's showing it with the speakers in.... )

Hi I am glad that no one did that to my car, someone had installed a large amp & Bass speakers that took up 1/2 the boot space.

Luckily it was easy to remove, & reset back to original.

Yes i have done this to a previous 34 , used Speaker spacers ,as no one sat in the back . We put Rockford Prime 6x9 running off the Headunit . very punchy sound ,Usually you go to a 6x9 from a 6 if you want more punch over clarity and dont want a sub . Going 6 x9 in the back and a sub in the boot ??? not really cricket .

They fit nicely by the looks of it. Might grab some new rear trims and swap mine over..

Couldn't afford rockfords at the time

: (

Between the subs and the 6x9s

The bass was unbelievable. No clarity at all, it was horrible.

I tried mucking around with the amp setting and head unit setting etc. Couldn't get it any better...

Parcel tray is a good place to put them also ,you may need to add some sound deadening to boot ,Alpine Type S components are dearer than Rockford Prime components .The Type s should give good clarity if you tune them a bit ?.Put all your Headunit setting in the middle and back the gains off the amp as a starting point .

.. I got rid of the subs and his 6x9s.

I got these Alpines for cheap as because they were the last set.

I have no issues now, got it all set up perfect .

There was no helping what was in it.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
